Spirituality and Religion: The Rivers and the Ocean
1:00 - 2:07 (67 min)
The seminar's subject is spirituality and religion, aiming to develop spirituality. Ancient texts speak of one universal God. Spirituality is the ocean where all religious rivers meet. It is discovering one's self and relation to the Creator. All creation emanates from one single element, Brahman. Analyze the human body: it is controlled by the senses, the mind controls the senses, the intellect controls the mind, and the soul controls everything. The subtler an element, the more powerful it becomes. The invisible soul within is part of the supreme Creator. Direct the senses inward to discover this soul and achieve unity. This realization fosters love and ends conflict. Desires are an insatiable hunger. Mantra can satisfy the mind and lead to liberation. A realized yogi possesses contentment, not worldly wealth. The human body is like a coach; the senses are horses, the mind is the rider, and the soul is the king within. All religions, shaped by culture, aim for the one Formless God. The essence within everyone is the same divine light.
"Religions are like rivers, and Dharma is the ocean."
"From the Whole, the whole is created. From the infinite, the infinite is created, and still the infinite remains as it is."

Anahata chakra
2:15 - 3:01 (46 min)
The awakening of contentment arises from purifying the heart chakra through practical yoga techniques. All phenomena contain three principles: resonance, light, and energy. When the Anāhata Chakra becomes pure, these three unite and material perception dissolves, revealing divine consciousness and unconditional compassion. This shift liberates one from karma. The initial awakening is Param Ānanda, supreme bliss, felt as subtle joy in the body. This bliss awakens inner resonance and the light of wisdom, leading to Śāntoṣa, the wealth of contentment. With contentment, one feels no lack; all external wealth becomes like dust. Happiness is needing nothing. The inner treasure of love and wisdom is already within; you are rich. A meditation technique purifies the body and awakens this state. Practice eleven cycles of Aśvinī Mudrā, then focus on ascending and descending breath, bodily expansion and contraction, inhaling cosmic light, and exhaling toxins. Finally, hold the body motionless and coordinate breath with the heart, using the mantra OM SO HAṂ to realize your divine essence.
"When the Śāntoṣa appears in the heart, then automatically your partner will share this Śāntoṣa with you."
"You cannot buy happiness, you cannot buy love, you cannot buy wisdom. Everything is within you."

Moon and Mind
3:05 - 4:13 (68 min)
Morning satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. In reality, there is no sunrise or sunset - only the Earth is moving. It is said that the Moon is balancing the Earth. There are many different constellations. The Moon has a strong effect on nature. Sometimes, if someone goes on the wrong way it can influence others. We have to practice pranayama systematically. The master of the mind is the Moon; the principle of the Moon is water and water means movement. It is balancing our whole body.
There is one Soul
4:20 - 5:43 (83 min)
Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from retreat at Mt. Shasta, Washington State, USA. The ocean is the origin, the creation. Nada is the resonance, it is the Supreme. Vishwaguruji creates a sound from the sea-shell. The elements were emerging from the sound of the creation. There are uncountable Souls in the body like the cells. Humans are fighting in vain, there is one Earth, each of the drops are from the same origin and will dissolve again. Similarly, there is one Soul. Real yoga is to love and understand the body, like when we are practicing Yoga in Daily Life.
The real meditation
5:50 - 6:39 (49 min)
The soul of meditation is the Guru Mantra, the essential seed given by the guru.
Without the guru's mantra, meditation is lifeless. The mind, restless and hungry, finds calm through this mantra. The real mantra is the Guru Mantra, received with the guru's blessing, not self-chosen. One must be Guru Mukhi, oriented toward the guru, not Man Mukhi, following one's own mind. The guru is a principle that removes ignorance's darkness. This guru-tattva is the light, manifest like electricity in a bulb. The guru embodies the divine functions: as Brahmā, he creates knowledge in the disciple; as Viṣṇu, he protects; as Maheśvara (Śiva), he liberates. The disciple is drawn to this light. Perfecting the mantra involves stages: writing it (likhita), chanting it (vekrī), inner chanting without sound (upāṁśu), mental repetition (mānasika), and finally spontaneous, effortless repetition (ajapa). One makes a commitment (saṅkalpa) for daily practice, offering the results to the guru. This spiritual practice must be protected from negative influences, for its merit is permanent.
"Without a Guru Mantra, meditation is like a statue without life in it."
"Gu means darkness, and ru means light. He is the one who removes the darkness of ignorance and leads us to the light."

Symbolical stories about Tat Tvam Asi and Ganesha
6:45 - 7:23 (38 min)
The teaching is the great statement "Tat Tvam Asi"—You are That. A father teaches his son to look beyond names and forms to perceive the single cause of all existence. Just as all clay pots are essentially clay, and all gold ornaments are essentially gold, the diverse universe is a manifestation of the one Brahman. The essence is not found in the many effects but in the one cause. Another story illustrates this: circling one's parents, who represent the cosmos, is wiser than circling the entire world. The divine Self, Tat, is not separate from your true Self, Tvam. To know this is to know everything. An experiment with salt dissolved in water demonstrates how Brahman permeates all reality, indivisible yet present everywhere. All rivers merge into the ocean and become indistinguishable; all pollen merges into honey. Your true identity is that unity.
"From that nothing, this beautiful plant grows."
"Tat tvam asi, you are that Brahma."

Sri Deep Narayan Mahaprahuji
9:10 - 9:17 (7 min)
The divine name is the means to cross the ocean of worldly existence. Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī is the incarnation for all beings. By contemplating His name with grace, one cuts down desire, anger, and greed. The world's illusion remains far away through the Guru's grace. His name is the boat for crossing; the Satguru's grace is that boat. One who receives this grace finds their passage. At the time of dissolution, the Guru's light will manifest within the heart. By always holding His enchanting form in mind, one need not fear the net of illusion. The name itself provides absorption in divine feeling and ensures safe crossing.
"For the beings of the world—the jīvas and jinn—His name itself is the boat to cross the ocean of existence."
"By the grace of always contemplating Him, desire and anger... For the jīvas and jinn, by His name, one is always immersed in divine feeling."

Meditate, O mind, to dispel ill-intentions and remember the Guru's words. Through meditation, one gains wisdom and progresses toward becoming a yogi. It is the means to fulfill duties and make life fruitful. True renunciation arises from seeking detachment while still within worldly bondage. In all actions, remember the Lord.
"Through meditation, you will become wise. Through meditation, you will become a yogī."
"One who searches for detachment while in bondage becomes a renunciant."

Without Gurudev the whole world cries
10:05 - 10:21 (16 min)
The devotee's heart longs solely for the Satguru. Wandering the world finds no friend like the Guru; without that presence, there is weeping and no rest. Attachments obscure the path, preventing peace. Hearing the divine name awakens the seeker. The Guru's eternal kindness bestows the refuge of the lotus feet. This translation is merely an interpretation, not definitive. The essence is praise for the Guru's arrival, which brings joy, dispels illusion, and cuts the bonds of endless sorrow.
"Without that fragrance, the whole world weeps, and I can find no sleep; I can find no rest, day or night."
"Satguru āye, mera mana harṣāye. Dhanyabhāga mere Satguru āye."

We are full of the divinity
10:55 - 11:11 (16 min)
The Yoga in Daily Life program spreads widely through its intrinsic value. A key component is Sarvahitā Āsana, a set of exercises created collectively for universal benefit, suitable for all ages and capacities. This practice, alongside others like Bārikhātu Praṇām, serves as vital medicine for well-being. Consistent practice distinguishes the fit. Those engaged in jealousy and selfish gain are spiritually adrift and in peril. The community is a collective light in darkness, embodying divine grace. Focus must remain on satsaṅg, spiritual association, and divine connection, avoiding gossip and negative company.
"Sarvahitā Āsana is very great."
"You are all a light. In a dark night, even this one flame is there, and we all can walk by it."

The Awakening of Kuṇḍalinī: A Journey to Happiness, Love, and Wisdom
11:15 - 11:43 (28 min)
The awakening of Kuṇḍalinī brings happiness, universal love, and wisdom. Our journey spans many lives as we develop individual consciousness, which is part of the cosmic Self. Yoga is the practice of reunion with that Self. Energy from the cosmos is received through rotating chakras and circulates through five bodily layers. The causal body holds two levels: transient joy and divine, everlasting bliss. The soul is a collection of karma and qualities, not the eternal Self. At self-realization, this collection dissolves. When the physical body dies, karma persists like a shadow, guiding the soul's future. Chakras must be purified through mantra and practice for a stable awakening. Without guidance, imbalanced energy causes disturbance. The term Kuṇḍalinī refers to feminine energy residing in the unconscious, with its serpentine movement through the nerves symbolizing this awakening.
"Yoga means union, and practicing yoga means reunion."
"The awakening of the Kuṇḍalinī means happiness, universal love, and wisdom."

The Foundations of Consciousness: Understanding the Chakras
11:50 - 12:22 (32 min)
The chakras are borders of consciousness. Energy centers are located at the body's major joints, marking transitions between kingdoms of nature. Concentrating on the earth chakra at the feet can lead to depression and accelerated aging. The area from ankles to knees governs animal consciousness and behavior. The five human chakras remain mixed with these lower qualities. The Ājñā Chakra is the border between human and divine consciousness. Awakening it reveals the inner master, though the outer master remains essential. Confusion arises when this center is clouded by intellect and ego. Ājñā means command, granting authority over the senses and freedom from karma. The Mūlādhāra chakra is the root foundation of physical and psychic stability. Its red color symbolizes the energy of Mother Earth, blood, and Śakti. This energy is worshipped as the divine feminine. The lotus flower symbolizes pure devotion and love, remaining unstained by the world.
"Gu means darkness, and Ru means light. You enter into the light of wisdom, and you cross the border of this darkness."
"Ājñā means order. Ājñā means command. So you become the commander because you know what to do."

Practising Asanas
16:00 - 16:47 (47 min)
Yoga practice is an inner journey, not a physical workout. We practice to calm down, feel inner peace, and be aware of each movement. Relax the whole body and observe your feelings. The key is to quiet the inner dialogue. Breathing is fundamental; without proper breath, no asana is correct. Life itself depends on how we breathe. Short, clavicular breathing leads to stress and low energy. Learn to connect the abdomen, middle, and clavicle in one complete breath. Your posture reflects your inner state; practice builds inner strength and corrects the body's position.
"Without knowing how to breathe, no āsana will be correct in a good way."
"First, because your inner thoughts and feelings are reflected in your body."

Spiritual Sadhana
16:55 - 17:48 (53 min)
The practice of yoga and discipline aligns the practitioner with the divine. All spiritual beings become the God they worship, regardless of religion. Creatures of the dawn awaken for a higher purpose, while those active only in darkness engage in negative actions. Humans should emulate the discipline of the dawn, rising early for practice like the military, to restore balance. True yogic practice extends beyond physical postures to deeper spiritual levels. Great masters from India's lineage demonstrate profound spiritual power, performing miracles like restoring life. This land is considered divine. The current time is an opportunity to stay home with family and cultivate compassion, which is the root of all religion.
"All those who are spiritual, those who are ceremonious, they are that God which they worship."

Follow the advice of your Guru
18:45 - 20:04 (79 min)
Human life is valuable, yet filled with fear that drives all religious seeking. All creatures live in fear, and humans are no different. This fear leads people to temples, mosques, and churches. The physical Guru is a conduit to the divine, not claiming divinity themselves. Spiritual traditions exist worldwide, each with unique customs for honoring God and ancestors. All genuine paths ultimately lead to the same divine source. A true Guru's promise to a disciple is eternal, working across lifetimes for liberation.
"Life is not easy. They know, they don’t know. But they have one thing, and that is a fear, a very great fear."
"So it means that, don’t think that the guru is nothing. When you have it, then it will be, not in this life, but in the next life."

Share the bread with everyone
20:10 - 20:57 (47 min)
Christmas conveys a dual message of joy and sorrow to awaken compassion. Holy incarnations appear for a purpose or remain as constant saints. God sustains all life, yet human greed corrupts this natural provision. The season reminds us of divine births, like Jesus, born into hardship to exemplify love and perseverance. Living in this complex world requires balance, like a tongue amidst teeth. True saintliness is an inner quality, not an external uniform. The path demands positive thinking toward all, without judgment, as divine figures work to show the way.
"God is feeding everyone. And what they call the food companies are now controlling, and they produce the food as they like."

The Destiny
22:20 - 23:41 (81 min)
Our body is a divine energy system of chakras, and destiny is recorded within it. Chakras are energy centers connecting consciousness, space, and energy. The body is an indescribable creation; it transforms food into life in a way no machine can. Our destiny is the fruit of past actions, recorded in our energy field like an unerasable line on stone. We cannot delete it, but through spiritual practice, we can rise above it. The Ājñā Chakra, or third eye, when opened, grants vision of past, present, and future. Negative energies—Kāma, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Ahaṅkāra—arise from the lower chakras and bind us. These must be replaced with positive qualities: Tyāga, Vairāgya, Bhakti, Jñāna, and Viveka. A practice like Pañcāmṛta—a mixture of milk, yogurt, butter, honey, and pure water—used in worship, can help purify energy and balance the chakras. Following a master's guidance can help monitor and navigate destiny, though not erase it. The aim is to realize the oneness of all consciousness.
"Destiny is a line on the stone. We can't delete it."
"When we realize the oneness, then there is no difference between God and us, because it's the same energy, the same space."

Atma is king of the body
23:45 - 0:50 (65 min)
Perseverance in spiritual practice is essential, and the inner self is the sovereign of the human vehicle.
Maintain a single target on the path to achieve it; without focus, one feels emptiness and anger. A practitioner, after twenty-four years without perceived experiences, considered abandoning his practice. Observing an ant repeatedly fail yet succeed in carrying a grain of rice up a tree taught him never to give up. The body is a coach; the ten indriyas are its powerful horses, controlled by the mind. Within this coach resides the king, the Ātmā, which is formless and ever-awakened. Viveka, or discernment, is the essential advisor to this king. If viveka is absent, thieves like desire and anger enter and destroy the vehicle. The guru's word is the arrow that drives these thieves away.
"For 24 years I’m practicing, but I don’t have any experiences."
"Ātmā is Nirākāra: Nirākāra means formless."
